Abstract
Hypertension is quantitatively the largest risk factor for
cardiovascular diseases, is growing in prevalence, and is
poorly controlled. Prevention of hypertension is possible
and treatment can control hypertension in almost all patients
with consequent marked reductions in stroke and
myocardial infarctions. In the paper, authors presents selected
milestones in the history of hypertension research.
